Tanya Toyer, LPCC, LPC

Tanya Toyer is a licensed counselor with LPCC and LPC credentials and 26 years of experience. She focuses on trauma-informed, evidence-based care. Tanya helps people manage relationship strain, family challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses trauma and abuse and related concerns such as post-traumatic stress and domestic violence.

Tanya uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help clients rebuild stability and cope with strong emotions. She brings a wellness-oriented viewpoint and supports recovery in ways that fit each person’s life. Sessions focus on clear goals and step-by-step strategies, not jargon.

Her background includes long experience in counseling across a range of life stages. That experience informs how she frames treatment plans and practical tools for daily life. Tanya emphasizes safety, pacing, and skill-building when trauma history is involved.

People come to her for help with attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, anger and guilt, or the aftermath of divorce or separation. She also supports those facing prejudice, isolation, pregnancy-related stress, and health-related challenges such as HIV / AIDS.

Tanya works from Georgia and holds licensure in both Georgia and Ohio. Sessions are offered in English. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Tanya uses trauma-informed, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on safety, pacing, and skill building. For example, grounding and stabilization methods help reduce overwhelm by teaching simple breathing and attention skills people can use between sessions. These approaches are aimed at calming the nervous system and improving daily functioning.

She also uses structured, skills-based work to address depression and low self-esteem. This can include setting small, achievable goals and practicing new behaviors that rebuild confidence and routine. Such techniques are practical and easy to review during sessions and as take-home practice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tanya collaborates with each person to choose or adapt techniques based on their goals, history, and comfort. She will check in and adjust pacing so the plan fits the client's needs rather than forcing a single method.

If you are considering remote care, confirm the session formats offered before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life, avoid travel, and keep follow-up brief when needed. It can also allow sessions during a work break or from a quieter spot, helping therapy feel more manageable alongside daily responsibilities.
